Her reputation preceded her. As Bourne approached the lectern for public comment — shouting about “healthy, whole women!” — scores of district-area teachers got up from their seats and walked out of the meeting.
Bourne went ballistic.
“Ask those teachers to stop interrupting my comment!” she shouted at the meeting chair. “I want my time back! I want my time back!”
But if someone breaths too loudly during a data centre or flock camera discussion they’ll arrest them on the spot.
I agree, you are fucking insane.
Most of the relationships she spent years forming — as a mom, community member, and university employee — have now dissolved. No one called her on her birthday last month, she said, through glassy eyes filled to the brim with tears once again. Attempts to connect with these former friends — by sending them controversial columns about gender identity, for example — are not received kindly. “We don’t want to hear from you,” Beth said a friend recently told her. “Don’t send us anything anymore,” said another.
she seems closer to the verge of emotional breakdown than she is to the verge of an insult.
The mom needs some impartial advice as to why everyone in her life cut ties with her, and why her eldest child being happy is driving her to the point of a mental breakdown.
Just another opportunity to post about the missing missing reasons.
EDIT: Quotes are from the sacbee article linked elsewhere in the comments.
She’s a Moms for Liberty loon
LOL, I guess people are required to listen to Karens like this?
I bet she’s tons of fun at a party.
The former University of California staffer’s virulent activism began several years ago following her own daughter’s transition.
Ah, there’s the rub. Her oldest child is trans and she just couldn’t accept it. The article linked in the quote is very interesting and gives a lot more context.
It truly is what Yoda said: Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
be interesting to read an interview with her daughter.
Did you read the SacBee article? It’s not explicitly an interview with her child, but the reporter obviously quoted them extensively.
She can be a crazed suffering wreck in jail but she has no business trying to lead anything. Bitch is actively hurting kids through discourse
These are the kinds of people who make me actively cram down my own personal squeamishness surrounding the subject to actively try to be a better person towards trans and intergender people and anyone else who is non-binary.
Our civilization could be so much better without hate. Especially when it’s over variations of conception or development. People can’t do a damn thing about it – as an AuDHD person myself, I know. I wish there was a pill that could utterly eliminate all symptoms of my ADD, but there isn’t.
Thankyou for acknowledging the ‘squeamishness’, better still being a good person and recognising it as whait is.
And that is literally all what it is - a physical squeamishness. That’s it. And no, a firm, professional business handshake doesn’t trigger it.
And I see two people going nookie on each other, I’ll yell at them to get a room no matter what the combination. I don’t need to see your tentacle-tongues in action, much less anything more risqué.
Poor crybully got upset people didn’t want to listen to her bigotry. She is obviously not a healthy woman or she wouldn’t be freaking out like that.
Good for the people that stood up and voted with their feet.
Part of me wishes the author had done what the teachers did and refused to give her an audience. Instead they’ve now just published everything she had to say.
I’d hope it’s embarrassing for her
In their defense it is rather entertaining watching something so pathetic meltdown. Not that hard to do it to em in person but rare to see it happen in such a public setting, only way it could be better is if she went and got herself killed.

I’m confused, what does being straight have to do with it? There’s plenty of straight allies. Have you met any openly out trans people? We’re just regular folks like anyone else
What does straight have to do with it? I’m just a little weirded out by trans in general. It’s weird to me. But at the same time, it’s nt my problem and cna respect that whoever is can have at it. Like isaid, which was apparently removed by mods, live and let live. Weird comment to remove, I didn’t think I was being disrespectful or offensive but okay.
I’m just a little weirded out by trans in general.
Why is that anyone elses problem? You should go see a professional about that issue.
Broadcasting your intrusive/offensive thoughts to strangers is actual behaviour that legitimately weirds people out.
Here’s the video. Click the public comment link to jump directly to public comments, she’s the second to last commenter, and she comes in hot lol.
She seems to be okay with gay men and lesbian women, but draws the line at transgender folks - perhaps because her own child is transgender? Unfortunately she’s missing the bigger picture.
55:45 is the timestamp if anyone goes looking. It’s worth it, she is totally unhinged.
I’ve seen enough untreated mental illness.
I like the dude who went up after and was like “here’s some unfocused ramblings about math in daily life”.
I also want my time back, random lady singing before that was better
I want my time back!
I hope one day she realizes she’s never getting any of it back, and decides to spend it on things that don’t ruin other people’s lives.
The chance is there, but far too many of these kinds of people hate for life. Like toxic waste, they just get more and more vile with age.
Frankly, IIRC having a nonbinary daughter is what initially set her off. And if the estrangement of a child doesn’t bodily smack you across the face such that you reconsider your life choices, not much else ever will.
This is the raving lunatic who stripped at a different school board meeting, for reasons.
Bourne, inexplicably dressed in a trans flag tank top
I was wondering about that. It has to be intentional… but why?!
just listen to what she has to say, it’s really obvious. she’s totally out of her mind. clearly needs help. none of it reaches logical meaning.
that’s the entire precises behind the website kiwifarms
Maybe some “reclaim the rainbow” appropriation that conservatives love to do.
Where is the actual video?
